Designing IF statements

On their Stock sheet, students should add a column headed Stock Warning. This is apply when product stock decreases to 50 or fewer and signals to their staff that they need to order more ... otherwise they might upset their customers!

So in Cell H2, they should type =if( whereupon they will see a set of instructions ...

Example 16 ...

Students should click on the Number Left cell [E2], then immediately after this, type >=50

Example 17 ...

The value if true should reflect that if students are happy that the stock is greater than or equal to 50, then there is enough stock. Students could set this value to 'enough'.

Example 18 ...

The value if false needs to reflect the warning that staff need to buy more product ... and so students could set this to 'buy more'!

Example 19 ...

Students should remember to drag the formula into the remaining cells of Column H.
